In this bonus episode, we close out Season One with a powerful moment from the 2025 Worthy Conference, Through the Veil. All season we've explored the fivefold graces and the rhythms of grace and rest—and this communion experience beautifully ties it all together.

Before communion, the Lord led us into a silent Outer Court experience—300 women moving quietly through stations designed to help them listen, reflect, create, and meet with Him. It was counter-cultural, holy, and became the anchor for everything that followed.

This episode features the communion devotion that came right after that silent encounter—honest, emotional, and centered on the invitation to come boldly to Jesus. We’re also making the Outer Court Guidebook available so you can walk through the stations at home and create your own moment of rest with the Lord.

Whether you joined us at the conference or are experiencing it for the first time, we pray this time of communion draws you deeper into His presence and into a rhythm of rest with Him.

In our final episode of Season One, host Erin Arruda invites her husband Mickey Arruda back to share a glimpse into what Sabbath looks like for their family.

Over the past six years, the Arrudas have learned to embrace Sabbath as a weekly rhythm rooted in Scripture—a sacred invitation to rest, reflect, and be restored. Through moments of reflection, restoration, and recreation, they’ve discovered the beauty of letting the Holy Spirit lead their family into true rest.

Their story reminds us that Sabbath isn’t about perfection, but about presence. Even starting small—a walk, a pause, a meal shared slowly—can begin to shift the rhythm of your week and your heart toward freedom and worship.

This conversation is inspired by Exodus 5, where Moses declares to Pharaoh:

“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the wilderness.”

In this episode, we sit down with Courtney Lambert — wife, mother of six under the age of nine (yes, you read that right!), and a steadfast ministry leader whose quiet strength and faithful obedience have helped shape the very framework of Worthy Ministries. Though her work often happens behind the scenes, Courtney carries the heart and structure that keep the ministry standing strong.

Together, we explore how the Great Commission has unfolded in her life — from simple moments like a lunch at work or saying yes to a Bible study, to bold steps of obedience in serving her church, fostering children, and leading her family to know Jesus personally. Through it all, Courtney has lived out what it means to make disciples and to walk worthy of the calling of God.

Her story reminds us that discipleship isn’t always loud or seen — sometimes it looks like diapers, spreadsheets, and late-night prayers. It’s the faithful “yes” in the ordinary that brings about Kingdom transformation.
